"I remain to be convinced tht all these posting restrictions and divisions are really necessary"

No one expects YOU to be convinced. That is not the point. The point is, a lot of the restrictions are in direct relation TO your incessant complaining!

You argue against 'A' for months, until it gets overwhelming, so Joe institutes 'B' to try to contain the problem....that gives you an excuse to complain about 'B' because it's now harder to bitch about 'A'.....and there are 24 more letters. I think you are up to G or H by now.

There is an old saying that seems to summarize your attitude:

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease". You seem to think that if you just say "I don't WANT it this way, I want it THAT way!" enough times, someone will give in.


...Joe has tried to "grease" the situation in several ways, but you reject all solutions that do not meet your criteria.

but you must understand, the "squeaky wheel" that can't be greased easily often gets removed/replaced. The Mudcat wagon will roll along on the path determined by the leader(s)....NOT by members who use most of their postings to complain about the rules.
